This research explores the phenomenon of apocalyptic themes in British television programming and their educational implications. In recent years, television dramas depicting catastrophic scenarios have gained popularity, influencing public discourse on preparedness, resilience, and societal responses to existential threats.

Through qualitative content analysis and thematic exploration, the research identifies recurring motifs, narrative strategies, and socio-cultural messages embedded within selected British TV shows. The findings highlight the educational potential of apocalyptic narratives in fostering critical thinking, promoting disaster awareness, and stimulating public engagement with issues of global significance.
